Green skirts and windy bursts

Happy birthday to The Husband, my dad, and possibly to St. Patrick.

I got about two paragraphs into my "St. Patrick's Day" search on Wikipedia before I lost interest got distracted. I did find out that he was born in the 4th century, and taken captive in Ireland at age 16.

I wish I had learned what the significance of the Green is, why he insists we all be pinched if we don't wear it, and probably most importantly, why he is actually a Saint.
